all around me, i see what weakness has made
too much tomorrow, i think i’ll take all today
am i a poison, am i a thorn in the side
am i a picture perfect subject tonight

i don’t need nobody
and i don’t need the weight of words
to find a way to crash on through
and i don’t need nobody
i just need to learn the depth
or doubt of Faith to fall into

here i slumber to awaken my daze
i find convenience in this savior i save
am i a prison, am i a source of dire news
am i a picture perfect reason for You

i don’t need nobody
and i don’t need the weight of words
to find a way to crash on through
and i don’t need nobody
i just need to learn the depth
or doubt of Faith to fall into

in this time of substitute
it’s my needs i’ve answered to
all the while
and all the Hope that i invest
turns to signals of distress
all the while

i don’t need nobody
and i don’t need the weight of words
to find a way to crash on through
and i don’t need nobody
i just need to learn the depth
or doubt of Faith to fall into

You’re all i need
yeah, when the water runs deep
yeah, You’re all i need
now i cry my Soul to sleep
You’re all i need



needs, collective soul

everyone asks "are you still religious?" "do you still have hope?" "have you lost faith?"

you ever lose faith in something, or part of something, yet not quite know what it was that you lost faith in? you realise the moment it happens...

it's not losing faith as you would in god, or people, or even one person specifically. you can't describe it, so much. you just know when it happens. as though something fell off of a shelf, behind your desk. you heard it fall, but since you didn't see it fall, and now you can't find it, you can't be sure what it was. everything within you becomes part of a furious search for what's missing.



imagine the Faith misplaced...
